A Novel Bet.

while am not betting man"
said F. j. Cheney of the firm of f. j.
Cheney e. Co., & considered it my
religious duty to make that fellow a
bet. You see he was about dead, and |
guess he would have died before spring
if | had not have got him on the bet.
You know some men had rather lose
their life than lose hundred. Well,
he was one of that kind, and we both
came near being out, but l saved my
hundred and it only cost him ten dol
lars. How's that? He sent for me
one day and said the doctors had all
given him up to die with the catarrh
| told him that | would bet him 500
that Halls Catarrh Cure would cure
him, or | would give him 500 if it
failed. He took the latter proposition.
This was three months ago. You see
how he looks now, don't you Pas well
as any one, and dandy. "-American,

Illusion.

Far OFF the azure ever lies,
The dreamy blue, which lures to roam
out there arrived the cheated eyes
The charm behold transferred to home.
Dull letters are the here and now,
Which from us we would read away;
The past, the future only glow
In hope and memory's golden ray.
Our feet thus find no pause nor rest
Alert illusion keep them still;
Thus ever toward the fleeing west
Our march we take DER plain and hill
Sink cold and dark the shades at length,
To lure us hope and fancy cease;
While calls to halt our waning strength,
Our tents we pitch and are at peace.

Tar Heel Road Cart.

We take the following from the Green's
boro Workman t'Messrs. J. A. White &
Son, of Winston, have just taken out letters
patent for a new two wheel riding vehicle,
which they term Tar Heel Road Cart
and of the adaptation of which to the pur-
pose indicated in its name there seems no
doubt. The Scientific american of January
22d says of the Tar Heel Road Cart: The
invention covers a novel construction and
combination of parts in vehicle, the body
of which will hang low, and which is SO
made that the jerking, jaring horse motion,
common to two-wheel vehicles, is avoided
This cart is manufactured by Messrs
White & Son, Winston, at their OWE shop,
where it can be seen at any time. A gentle
man at Sioux City, Iowa, who weighs over
800 lbs, has written to the Messrs. White,
with view of procuring one of the new
Tar Heels for his own use. We hope the
cart will soon find its way to Greensboro"

The Cage now Managed SO the Birds Can
not Get Out.
Our reporter was sh own over the new
Jail recently by Mr.. Bradford, who seems to
take pride in his charge, and pleasure
in exhibiting its internal workings. In
going over the Jail no one would ever sup
pose that prisoner could have escaped from
it, which he could not, except by accident,
and it would surprise an outsider to find
any jail made SO secure. The front apart
ments of the Jail, where the family of the
tailor live are as neat and comm odious as
any private dwelling in the city, while the
whole building, from top to bottom, presents
a scene of neatness and cleanliness seldom
witnessed in jail. The prisoners in their
cells look positively cosy and comfortable,
and one of the company remarked that he
wouldn't mind doing little meanness TO
get to stay in there while himself. The
prisoners amuse themselves in various ways
Some were singing, two were taking a game
of cards, and one fellow was reading news
paper and giving utterancs SO some words
that Webster and Worcester never heard.
Escape from one of the cells is simply
impossible, and as long as the prisoners are
kept inside there they are safe. Tailor
Bradford says he does not apprehend the
slightest danger of any of the prisoners
slipping through his fingers.

= An alarm of fire disturbed the quiet of
CATION found that one of the chimneys at
the Belo house was on fire, and blazing up
at an alarming rate. The fire soon spent
itself harmlessly, however, and did not give
the Rough and Ready Company, who turned
out promptly, an opportunity to show their
skill. The only damage done happened to
Mr.. Relo himself, who, in crossing the din
ing room, stumbled and received severe
fall, giving one leg severe strain.
A slight Misunderstanding occurred
between two men on the street Saturday
evening, in which no damage was done, ex-
cept knocking out a few teeth. A man
named Paylor accused a man named
Samuels of circulating slanderous reports
about his wife. Samuels cursed Paylor,
whereupon Paylor assaulted Samuels, when
they were soon separated by the police.
The trial before the mayor resulted in a
fine of one dollar and cost, being imposed
upon Samuels.
